A major 17-week-long programme of roadworks and closures will begin on Hadham Road next week to accommodate the residential development at Bishop’s Stortford North.

The closures — which will take effect from Monday, 8 January and remain in place until April — will allow for “essential utility” works, as well as the construction of a new roundabout to serve the Stortford Fields development being overseen by the Bishop's Stortford North Consortium.

Hadham Road will be completely closed between Hadham Grove and the A120/A1184 roundabout from 6am on Saturday, 13 January, until 5am on Monday, 15 January.

A spokeswoman for the developers said: “The Bishop’s Stortford North Consortium (BSNC) has commenced work at Stortford Fields, the major mixed use development which will provide a range of new homes, including affordable housing, to meet local housing needs, with dwellings for both families and first time buyers.

“To enable the first of the new homes to be built, the construction of a new roundabout is required on Hadham Road to provide access onto the new neighbourhood.

“This is a vital step to getting the first set of homes ready for occupation by residents.

“The construction team will be working from 7.30am to 5pm each day including weekends to complete the work as quickly as possible.

“However, these are significant works and it will take up to 17 weeks to complete.”
